I have been loving this coat that I got as a Christmas present! This winter has been very mild so far in Boston so I have been able to wear my coats a lot rather than my big puffy down coat, which has been so nice. Mother nature is spoiling us this year…

These shoes make me tall. Correction: feel tall. They have a platform and a heel so they do give me 3+ inches, which is enough to make me feel like a giant while doing daily tasks like brushing my teeth when the sink seems so much lower than normal… anybody else ever get this feeling when sporting heels that are seemingly sky-high?

I wore this to work the other day and I felt very Lauren Conrad in it for some reason… Man I miss The Hills...

I have been dying for this skirt to make it's debut on the blog. I bought it over a year ago and it sat in my closet forever waiting for me to bring it to the tailor (I needed it hemmed up about 6 inches). I am so glad I finally got around to getting that taken care of!

Still loving the colorful denim trend. I used a good portion of an old Forever 21 credit I found when cleaning out my wallet on these purple denim pants and the coat from a previous post, and could not be happier with my picks!

I have decided to start a "trend watch" series. Oftentimes I will blog about an emerging trend without ever identifying it as such. By not doing so, I do not get to explore variations of the trend, and I want to start doing that because it's fascinating, right?

Todays trend watch is printed denim. We noticed a huge surge in prints S/S '11 (perhaps even before that, that's just when I started blogging and took notice) and it has taken off from there, i.e.: printed pant suits -see Krystal, citrus prints (Stella McCartney, #obsessed), polka dots, star prints, tribal print skirts, etc.

And now these prints and trends are carrying over to my personal favorite wardrobe staple: The Jean. See my first take on the trend with leopard print Current/Elliotts here. From animal print, to stripes, and floral, I have a feeling this trend will be around for a while… I am currently craving a pair of floral print ones, though these chevron ones just below are simply amazenuts.

Finally getting a chance to wear these red wellies, though I am in no way an advocate of this cold messy weather. One thing I love about these rain boots is the black and white stripe detail on the back, and the interior is also black and white stripes.

Girl in the Poodle Shoes' first award!

I am beyond happy and humbled to be nominated for the Liebster Blog award by Leslie, from the blog Fashion Needy. Thank you so much for your kindness!

Please check out her sweet blog!

Liebster in German means dearest, beloved or favorite, and it's for bloggers with under 200 followers. Liebster Blog Award is a sort of a "chain letter" in the blog community, but is spread from blog to blog to foster support and unity among growing blogs :) I really like the idea of it! I feel so humbled and excited that a fellow blogger nominated me.

So... there I was, minding my own business, just cutting through Forever 21 to get to their second exit, when I spy this coat (on sale!) and was immediately reminded of Blair's coat, (seen here, and here) that I nearly died of envy over… one thing led to the next, and the next was me walking out of Forever with this coat.

After prowling ebay for a reasonable price on these Current/Elliott leopard jeans for a couple months now, I finally got them! I don't usually shop for clothing online unless shipping and returns are free but I took a chance on these, because I am obsessed with them, and they fit perfectly!

Any other fun eBay finds out there or is anybody else dabbling in the realm of animal print pants??

So... I have lusted after a Barbour jacket for quite some time now, but at $369 had my hesitations, so I was thrilled when I came across a more affordable version, this one, at Land's End Canvas for much less and on sale.
